Yesterday’s LMHR show at Budapest’s giant Sziget Festival was a big success with scores of Hungarian bands performing in opposition to racism and fascism and a finale featuring a “supergroup” of UK-based LMHR musicians led by Sam Duckworth of Get Cape Wear Cape Fly. More reports and photos of the show will follow (also check Facebook and our flickr stream). The show was put together to help launch a new Hungarian anti-racism campaign along the lines of LMHR which aims to tackle the problems the country is facing from anti-Roma racism, stirred up in particular by fascist organisations there. Martin Smith from LMHR reports from Hungary after speaking to Hungarian musicians and visiting victims of racist attacks which followed the notorious Nazi “Magyar Sziget” festival last week.
